VISION 2009
The VISION community is steadily growing. Between 2006 and 2008 alone, the trade fair recorded a 35 percent increase in exhibitors and a 43 percent increase in hall space. Similarly, the visitors who attend display a variety and competence which expands and develops with each year. This is quite simply due to the fact that there is hardly an industry today that survives without the involvement of machine vision in one way or the other.

Workshop on Entanglement and Quantum Decoherence (EQD)
The Workshop on Entanglement and Quantum Decoherence (EQD) is intended to provide an opportunity for extended expert interaction on a number of linked topics that have become widely interesting recently. A shared basis in concepts and techniques that were originally associated with quantum optics can serve as an interface between different specific themes. These include: effects associated with environmental noise and decoherence; quantification and control of qubit, qutrit, multi-qubit and continuous-variable entanglement; correlated and cooperative relaxation and their control; adiabatic and non-Markovian evolution of open quantum systems and their control; quantum measurements and their back-action; quantum trajectories and their relation to quantum dynamics and measurements; quantum thermodynamics and its control; and quantum entanglement implications outside of the quantum information context.

Laser Florence 2008
The Conferences include the applications of optical and electronic instruments and the chemical substances used with lasers. Topics to be discussed include the uses of lasers in medicine, surgery, biology, veterinary, basic
research, physics and engineering, encouraging correct use especially regarding safety norms. A plenary session will emphasize possible side
effects and complication of laser uses, comparison between laser/light sources and traditional tools, drugs, instrumentation, and the scientific bases of nonsurgical laser-biomodulation. The main focus is on the correct use and the safety norms of laser technology rather than theoretical research/scientific skills. Prior to and during the conference 11 basic courses offering some hands-on experience
will be available.
